With Bellator Fighting Championships’ third season winding to a close, two more champions have been crowned.

Heavyweight prospect Cole Konrad made quick work of Neil Grove to claim the 265-pound belt, while bantamweight Zach Makovsky survived an early scare from opponent Ed West en route to a dominant unanimous-decision title win.

Both fights were featured on the main card of Thursday’s Bellator 32 event, which took place at the Kansas City Power & Light District in Kansas City, Mo. As with all Bellator events, the action aired on FOX Sports Net.

While Konrad has taken some criticism for his path to the finals after racking up four-straight decisions under the Bellator banner, “The Polar Bear” worked hard to finish the fight this time around.

After taking down his striking-savvy opponent early in the opening round, Konrad actually made the surprising decision to stand back up and reset the action on the feet. Unfortunately for Grove, the Brit simply could not capitalize on the opportunity and found himself planted on his butt once again just a few seconds later.

Once there, Konrad went to work.

The 26-year-old prospect walked his opponent to the cage, advanced to mount and patiently worked in a few ground-and-pound blows before ultimately attacking Grove’s arm with a keylock. “The Goliath” had little recourse and was forced to tap with just 15 seconds remaining in the opening round.

In bantamweight action, neither Makovsky nor West had ever before fought for 25 minutes prior to Saturday’s title contest. As is often typical with 135-pounders, both handled the challenge with ease, though it was Makovsky who passed the test with flying colors.

It didn’t always appear he would cruise to a unanimous-decision win. In fact, West threatened very early on with an opening-round kimura attempt from his back, as well as a powerful knee on the feet that dropped Makovsky in the closing seconds and appeared to leave “Fun Size” rocked as he headed toward his stool. Unfortunately for “Wild” West, it was his last real shining moment.

Makovsky took firm control of the action in the second frame utilizing a relentless takedown attack and maintaining pressure from the top. The strategy proved effective all the way up to the final bell. West had a brief threatening moment with a third-round guillotine, but it was all the real offense he could muster, and Makovsky walked away with a clear-cut decision and Bellator’s first-ever 135-pound belt.

Makovsky (12-2 MMA, 4-0 BFC) now owns a six-fight win streak, while West (15-5 MMA, 2-1 BFC) sees his own seven-fight run snapped.

What happens when you mix a pair of welterweights who each have earned the majority of their wins via submission? In the case of “Judo” Jim Wallhead and Ryan Thomas, a scrappy slugfest, of course.

Wallhead and Thomas chose to bang it out on their feet for the majority of their three-round affair, and it was the British judoka who earned the better of the action. Thomas looked unsuccessfully to bring the fight to the floor a handful of times, and he paid the price each time for his missteps.

Thomas finally got the fight to the floor in the third frame, but by then he appeared fatigued and only managed to suffer the wrath of Wallhead’s top-game attack until the final bell. It was Wallhead (20-5 MMA, 1-0 BFC) who walked away with the unanimous-decision win in his long-awaited Bellator debut, while Thomas (11-6 MMA, 1-3 BFC) now has just two wins in his past seven fights.

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
